    Animals & Things in Woodbridge

    Actually, it probably is worth close to that. They were doing over a million a year in the one store in Woodbridge Center back in the early 70's. You don't know how many times I dreamed about buying them out! Here comes the public confession of my secret life, drum roll........! I worked for...

    blange3's 180 upgrade

    Thinks are a little quiet at the moment on the upgrade front. I picked up the canopy last week, but haven't had a chance to work on refinish it. I should be getting the endcaps and ballast tomorrow so I'll have to kick this into gear. I also have to pay Brian a visit and get the sander and...

    Well, while you are looking for loopholes, what sword did Neville use at the end? And if it is the one I'm thinking of, how did he get it back?? Hope that was vague enough for those who are still reading!

    I liked it a lot John! Some Dune similarities. Women in charge, but he is an exception. The whole weapon master training, feint within a feint within a feint thing goes on between Paul and Gurney in Dune. Love the moral dilemas. I'm trying to get back to Exile for a couple of hours tonight...

    Why fight with PH????

    What Rich and Phyl said! I run between 7.95 and 8.15 Keeping the other levels stable I still get decent growth. Stability is best, stop futzing and enjoy the tank!

    fresh start need opinions

    Don, Since we are neighbors you are welcome to stop by and see my Softie focused tank and my LPS focused tank to get ideas. You need to do it before the end of the month though as they are moving into a 180 as a mixed reef shortly. PM me if you are interested. Bill

    Halimeda causing coral disease?

    I experienced the increase in calcium demand as well, Jose. I've found a balance of weekly water changes and topping of with Kalk mixed at 2 teaspoons per gallon of RO/DI that is keeping up with it now. I trim the Halimeda weekly to maintain a fairly stable population of macro.

    Halimeda causing coral disease?

    Well the article is from 2004, haven't heard anything about it since. I searched for the Ecology Letters article cited, but I think they must have the volume wrong. I'll try again later. Anecdotally, I have kept Halimeda in my main display tank for over about a year and have lost only one...

    blange3's 180 upgrade

    Thanks to all for the good wishes and the offers of help. I will take you up on them soon! ;) I'm picking up the canopy and some sand tonight. YES, I reuse sand!

    My 7 Gallon Minibow

    Welcome back Eric! The tanks look great. I don't think it was a big mistake. Your Remora is doing a fine job on my 55 gallon tank and I had a lot of fun with the minibow. It's now a mini-frag tank and soon to be retired after I get my 180 up and running. So if you are feeling nostalgic, it...
